Medical Student Internship

The Initiative on Islam and Medicine’s Medical Student Internship is a competitive enrichment program that provides directed learning experiences and stipend support for medical students. Trainees undertake a mentored reading course on the discourse of Islamic bioethics covering critical concepts in Islamic theology and law seminal works in the extant Islamic bioethics literature. In addition, interns will participate in data collection and analysis, literature review, and manuscript writing for a Muslim health research and/or Islamic bioethics-related project in order to build their research and scholarship skills. Finally, the internship will involve a service component where the interns will perform critical organizational and/or marketing tasks at the Initiative.
